RotoHog is a new community for fantasy sports, full with sports leagues and cash prize contests.
You can form leagues with friends or join a public league. The difference with RotoHog is its attempt to change the fantasy sports game in terms of the draft and its trading systems. Managing your drafts and trades happens in a real-time environment and evens the playing field for all members involved. This may be more fun for some, and offers more social features that align with web 2.0 concepts. Your team will be entered into its Marshall Faulk league, making you eligible for the $100,000 grand prize and weekly prizes capping off at $30,000.
While participating in the leagues is free for members, there are a few premium services included in RotoHog that you can pay for. These include real time player price updates, scores and stats, chat, market analysis, extra public and private leagues, and watch list and player alerts. So while you can participate freely in the open market that RotoHog has to offer, you'll have to pay in order to be the best in the league. Premium services start at about $10, which is peanuts compared to the $100k you could win, right?
Yahoo is also adding some features to its own sports fantasy games.
